HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 c63W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the organisations which have asked him to implement section 7 of the Road Traffic Act 1974 in the interests of pedestrian safety.

Mrs. Chalker

In the last three years I have received representations from

  • Colchester Council of Voluntary Service
  • Copgrove Area Residents Association
  • East Saltney Community Council
  • Headstone Ratepayers Association
  • London Borough of Bexley Federation of Residents and Ratepayers Associations
  • Todmorden Accident Prevention Committee
  • UK Federation of Business and Professional Women Waltham Forest Association for the Disabled
  • Waltham Forest Talking Newspaper Association

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why he has not so far implemented section 7 of the Road Traffic Act 1974.

Mrs. Chalker

Because of the difficulties local authorities and the police have seen in undertaking the necessary preparatory and enforcement work.
